See? All the WC proteges' favorite guys!Note... Only 6 minutes after the shooting, a suspect description was broadcast by police dispatch. Amazing Miraculous work!!!I've asked about all this before and there has been no explanation except- it just simply happened that way.

These times are all cherry-picked assumptions anyway. Whaley originally said that he picked up his fare at 12:30 and took him to the 500 block of North Beckley. Markham, Bowley, Higgins, and Tippit's permit for autopsy all put Tippit's shooting as much as 10 minutes earlier than 1:16.

Let's say, for argument's sake, two minutes. That would have him leaving the bus stop at 1.05 (in the timeline of the OP) and gives him exactly 11 minutes to get to 10th Patton to shoot Tippit at 1.16 pm after having talked to him!

12:31:30 PM: LHO is confronted in the lunchroom by Patrolman Marrion Baker. The superintendent of the building, Roy Truly, vouches for LHO, and he is released.12:33 PM: LHO leaves the TSBD by the front door (presumed).

In 90 secs, he purchases a Coke, then walks across the 1st floor in no hurry, goes down a flight of stairs, (probably) points out the phone to a journalist, reportedly gets seen by Campbell, retreives his jacket and then pushes past the crowd at the front of the building (filled with people like BWF, who know him), alwhilst taking swigs from his Coke, as he has finished the Coke by the time he gets to the bus.

In 90 secs, he purchases a Coke ... he has finished the Coke by the time he gets to the bus.

90 secs is a very long time to operate a vending machine with just one product to select. Try holding your breath for 90 secs or see how far you can walk in 90 secs. I can heat a can of beans in my microwave in 90 secs. Getting a coke? I'd say less than 20 secs even in a clunky machine.

How long does it take to point in a general direction and say "over there" or WTTE? I could do it without breaking stride.

How do we know that he finished his coke?

How do we know that he didn't jog part of the way from his rooming house? No one reported seeing him walking, crawling or sprinting. Maybe there was something on TV that would explain why he seemed to go unnoticed.
